Two-Vehicle Collisions in Wisconsin
Crashes involving two vehicles are among the most frequently reported types of roadway incidents across Wisconsin. When they occur on busy routes like W National Ave in New Berlin, the potential for injury and property damage increases significantly—especially during active traffic hours like mid-morning.
In this case, airbag deployment and the need for two tow trucks suggest a high-impact crash. Airbags are designed to protect occupants in moderate to severe collisions, but their activation typically signals considerable force and often leads to injuries such as whiplash, bruising, fractures, or head trauma.
Roadways such as County Hwy ES are often shared by both residential and commuter traffic, making them hotspots for vehicle crashes due to frequent turning movements, speed variations, and increased driver activity. Drivers navigating these corridors must remain especially alert to sudden stops or lane changes.
Injured victims are encouraged to seek medical attention immediately—even if injuries appear minor—as some symptoms may surface later. Additionally, documenting the crash scene, preserving medical records, and following through with any legal guidance can be crucial for recovery and compensation.
